Personally, I think there are several factors as to why Vanessa has success with these difficult to groom dogs. The love, care, respect and compassion she shows towards these animals is wonderful. Her first priority is for the safety and wellbeing of the animals. The fact that she is able to groom in an isolated environment without all the other noises and distractions found in grooming salon goes a long way towards the comfort of these nervous and often physically challenged dogs. Bless you and thank you for all the incredible work that you do.
@TheBaumcm Ай бұрын
Dogs are also, like children, great at reading human body language and emotion, both by tension and smell. If the groomer is relaxed and shows no fear of them but also that they are going to be no nonsense without being aggressive, most dogs will behave.

@Lucinda_Jackson Ай бұрын
I think so, too. Dogs, unless completely unhinged by fear in the moment, are generally very good at reading people and their intentions. She has perfected her touch, too. Gentle but not tentative and firm enough to inspire confidence. It's clear she has a plan and knows what's she doing which helps dogs relax in the feeling of safety. She just communicates nonverbally that her intention is to do what needs to be done *for them* with an encouraging and familiar "good boy" tossed in here and there.
@mimsredjelly Ай бұрын
I never thought about it that way before but the fact that she only ever has one animal or family group in the salon at a time is probably a huge factor in keeping the problematic ones calm.

I’m retired from grooming now and it’s dealing with owners like this one that makes me so happy to be done. “Not too short” meanwhile it’s matted or hates to be brushed. “Leave his face fluffy” meanwhile it’s nearly impossible to brush the face. Oh, I could go on and on. You’re a terrific groomer. What an asset to our profession you are.

lol we had one client actually a few like that but one that we kept telling her that if we don't shave her Shih Tzu it would be called animal abuse, she was like fine do what u want so unfortunately we had to start with a surgical clipper blade to break the Matts then Finnished him in with a 10 blade, at least he was good for his hand scissored face. We sent the dog home with the rug we shaved off his body, one very matted Shih Tzu looking carpet that had been on this dog. He was half the size once we got the Matt's off. He was all running around and sliding on the floor rubbing on the walls and anything he could as he hadn't felt his skin in like forever.

He wasn’t happy about giving up his beef chews, but after being on this diet he is now completely off of his allergy medication and his licking has stopped. He also lets me groom him without hesitation. He’s a really good dog!☺️

Saying that my westie was difficult to groom is an understatement.

Our otterhound mix was allergic to wheat / gluten, too, especially as she got older. Trying to find a kibble for her that _didn't_ have wheat or corn as the first ingredient back in the 00s was a heck of a challenge, but she got to enjoy a wide variety of flavors due to the "If we're gonna track it down, we're at least gonna make it interesting" mindset I got as a teen. I used my money from working as a Spoil the Pup fund and would take her with me to stores to pick out new kibble to try. Her allergies cleared up almost immediately after stopping with the Wheat Filler Kibbles, and she loved the variety. She actually had a favorite after a while and would put her paw on the bag to let me know that's what she wanted.

That makes sense. Dogs digestive systems weren't set up originally to eat grain. I think the only reason they do is because they have been so long associated with humans. But they have no amylase in their saliva which is what starts the digestion of carbohydrates. My dogs do very well on a grain-free diet.

We had a cross Westie/Maltese. He displayed everything that Dougie did. I was smiling, you are patience personified with lots of reassuring “good boy” in a calming tone. Ours was on allergy tablets, licked his paws constantly. He was feisty. No groomer would touch him, so I had to invest in a Wahl clipper some decent scissors and do him myself. This we managed, we got along quite well, up to a point, but it had to be done in stages. I divided his body into quarters, and then did his head. Including the wash, it took almost a week to groom him. Didn’t like his paws or butt being touched. He wouldn’t have won any dog shows, we came to a compromise, each of us understood. Other than that he was a good dog. I miss him, he passed to doggie heaven 12 Jan this year. Watching you groom Dougie brought back so many memories, even to the gold in his coat along his back. I wish your videos had been around earlier, I could have learned so much, instead it was definitely through trial and error. 😊

My parents had to put down their 16 year old Westie a couple of years ago. For most of her life, she had a really lovely beautiful white coat that didn't show the characteristic tan stripe down the back, and very few issues with allergies except for inside her ears. She would get yeast infections in her ears almost constantly until we switched her to a brand of dog food that didn't contain any brewer's yeast (a common filler ingredient in dry food). As she got older, though, her skin definitely flared up-her whole belly turned black just like how Doogie's is in this video and she would lick her paws raw. She also started having vision and incontinence issues and the doggie equivalent of Sundowners (likely due to the vision loss). Eventually, my parents decided that the kindest thing they could do was to let her go. She had lived a full and beautiful life, and even outlived her sister by several years. I love you my sweet Lilly-bug, and I know you're waiting OTRB for us.

Food will do that. I have a rotty that one time when he was younger got an ear infection that would not stop. They treated him with the time release med in his ear three different times. At the time of the third treatment I ran out of the bargain brand turkey cat food I had been putting a spoon of in his food to add flavor. The second that I quit feeding him that he cleared RIGHT up....never to have another "ear infection". It was never an infection, it was allergy to something in that cat food. Never fed him that again, of course. So I'd say on a dog that is constantly having "ear infections" that maybe it isn't infection and may very well be an allergy. You just gotta figure out what the thing is that they are allergic too by taking ingredients away. I'd start by googling the top things that dogs tend to be allergic to and go from there. Try 5-10 lb bags of different foods and watch the ears carefully for the reaction. Saves on waste. Once you know what works, then you can get any size you need.
@TheBaumcm Ай бұрын
Always a tough decision but that is the job when you take on responsibility for a life. Our lab had issues because she had grass and seasonal allergies (and insisted on eating grass like a cow😂). It made her paws and ears itchy so she would lick her paws making them yeasty (yep, that brewer’s yeast is in everything) and then she would scratch her ears transferring it and getting infections. We used Benadryl for the environmental allergens, wiped her paws regularly and treated them with ketoconazole periodically, and never had to worry about an ear infection again.

His groom looks amazing! I'm sure the owner had happy tears when they saw what a great job you did. I don't know his back story so I have nothing to say about his diet or allergies. His owner loves him so I have to believe that they have tried everything they possible can to ease his discomfort. So good on them for continuing to have their baby groomed and not trying to do it themselves. That's how pets get harmed.

A TIP FOR LICKING PAWS..an old vet gave me this advice for my yorkie betty boop who drove me nuts licking her paws..he said all the meds do is stop the licking for a time but as meds come out of system they start licking again so back for repeat prescriptions.... He said feed her the yoke of egg twice a week (Dont give the white part though) and the good bacteria it puts into guts stop the allegies forming that makes them lick paws. Shes now 9 and over the years whenever ive forgotten or not done it for a while then the licking comes back! Its just a healthier way of prevention than being on allergy meds for life .hope this helps someone as this advice was a God send to me ! PLEASE NOTE IT MUST BE RAW YOKE NOT COOKED

Our Westie is allergic to all feathered animals, can only eat raw pork and fish without getting a yeast outbreak. If the owners are reading, I would suggest they try a yeast infection cream like Canesten on the tail and bum area, that really helped us to get the redness and irritation down. We also did a round of Cytopoint which we didn't want to but in the end i think that was what got it gone for good. We use Chlorhexidine shampoo as well. Hope this helps!

@Dice-Z Ай бұрын
They definitely do react a lot to your demeanor. Cats are especially receptives to the energy their favorite person is putting out. I know they are extremely observant and like to watch things to learn them. That's how some cats including mine learned what a door knob is and that you have to do something with it to open doors, without being taught. Also something worth noting for both cats and dogs, is that when at a groomer or vet, they are in an unfamiliar environment with an unfamiliar person and are more likely to be anxious, so if they have a freeze response, they are much more likely to display it. Which ironically can end up making them more docile whereas they'd have no issue rebelling in their home.
